What Can a CBO Do to Enhance a Hospital’s Performance?

12/20/2018 - Lori Peterson, Collaborative Consulting

We all know that cross-sector partnerships are an effective strategy for addressing social determinants of health and improving the health and well-being of older adults and people with disabilities. They can also improve operational and financial performance for hospitals and health systems.

These partnerships create new opportunities, but only if CBOs position themselves as offering viable solutions to the challenges that hospitals face.

With this in mind, the Aging and Disability Business Institute asked Collaborative Consulting to develop a guide that highlights the incentives leading hospitals and health systems have to pursue cross-sector partnership as a performance improvement strategy.

• Provide pointers to help CBOs identify potential partnership opportunities in their own market, and

• Put all of this into perspective by sharing highlights from current cross-sector partnerships that are producing value for hospitals and their CBO partners.

The better CBOs understand the pressures that hospital leaders face to improve not only health outcomes for individuals but also financial and operational outcomes for their own organization, the better those CBOs can position themselves as valuable partners.
